Abstract excerpt
In Caenorhabditis elegans, mutations of the dystrophin homologue, dys-1, produce a peculiar behavioral phenotype (hyperactivity and a tendency to hypercontract). In a sensitized genetic background, dys-1 mutations also lead to muscle necrosis. The dyc-1 gene was previously identified in a genetic...
